The correspondence between Paul Celan (1920–1970) and Péter Szondi (1929–1971) is a testimony to a long and trusting friendship. This friendship remained unwavering at a time of a severe crisis – the alleged plagiarism campaign waged against Celan by Claire Goll. Szondi's public statements in defense of Celan played a crucial role in this campaign. The letters included in this book offer a thorough chronicle of the events. The publication is accompanied by numerous documents and detailed factual commentary.
